Description

Untainted is a piece that was inspired by moments when I found myself looking at my elder family members and wondering how they managed to walk through life with a vibrant bounce in their steps, almost seeming untainted and unbothered about things that might bother me. In those moments I appreciated and was reminded that old age comes a certain kind of wisdom that I am still growing into.
